Diddy install issue
Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Diddy install issue
| ||
I think I have almost certainly done something wrong, but cannot find what. I have unzipped and copied the diddy folder and contents to; ...\MonkeyPro47d\modules\ On trying to compile (XNA) the SpaceBugs game example I get; Compile Error Module 'diddy' not found. I can compile other non-diddy examples (eg monkeypuzzle). Any ideas where I have gone wrong? |

Can you post a screen shot of your Monkey/modules folder? |
| ||
Do I need to upload it to a filestore then use HTML to point to it? Cannot see any way to upload an image to the forum. |
| ||
The way I get diddy to work is to copy the directory diddy_rXXX.zip\diddy\src\diddy to MonkeyProXX\modules\ Copying the entire first diddy directory doesn't seem to work. |
| ||
Tried that as well, still no luck. Under the c:\MonkeyPro47d\modules I now have; diddy - directory with \data, \examples, \monkeymax, et al below diddy_r302 - as above diddy_r302.zip file Surely one of these should be picked up? Have I missed something completely obvious? |
| ||
Sorry, addendum; diddy_r302 - has \diddy then directory with \data, \examples, \monkeymax, et al below |
| ||
Rename your current diddy directory to diddy_src. Now copy the \diddy directory from that diddy_src\src directory to your MonkeyPro47d\modules. You will now have a c:\MonkeyPro47d\modules\diddy directory with a \gui and \native directory and some *.monkey files. That should work. The key is getting the \src\diddy directory into a \modules\diddy directory. |
| ||
That seems to have done it, thanks! And now on re-reading the install it does seem I did miss the blatantly obvious (well it is when you have done it and then re-read it)! |
| ||
Did you read this: http://code.google.com/p/diddy/wiki/HowToInstall If so, how would you edit it so you could follow it better? |
| ||
I did read that, and I am not saying that it is badly written. As usual I was doing half a dozen things at the same time. I misread 'Go into the src folder and copy the diddy folder into your Monkey/modules folder.' and copied the higher level 'diddy' folder (diddy_r302\diddy) into the modules folder. Possibly a slight renaming of folders in the zip file may improve readability. |
